“I’ve dated white people. I’ve got white friends. But I firmly believe that there’s not a Caucasian man in this world who does not think he’s more intelligent than a man with darker skin. He’ll deny it. But when he’s crushed down one thousand times, and when he absolutely needs it, he will play that card to save his self-esteem vis-à-vis me. I’m not saying it’s a choice. It’s not a moral thing. I’m saying it’s a feature of his soul that he doesn’t know is there.”
